D'oh! I noticed that and fixed it in my tree but didn't see how it could produce the results you saw. But I think I was believing the bogus gdb output you showed, and nothing explained those bit patterns if gdb was showing you the right locations. I've checked in my fix now, which should be abo

Hi, The type variable was declared const, so here is a new version. (I find this resetting of type a bit strange, but it is what is used in the select case, so I copy it). 2001-10-28 Marcus Brinkmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * hurd/hurdselect.c (_hurd_select): Set type to zero if S

I see. It might be telling to recode it using select and see if it behaves the same. Of course, it would be best if you could reproduce the situation with a simple test program (e.g. have a process that writes on a unix socket every few seconds, nothing writing on the inet socket, and a simple p

Hi, I am happy to be able to present some more info on the problems involving sudo/pflocal/syslogd. There seem to be a couple of issues. First, it seems that sudo and pflocal/libpipe seem to work fine in the normal case. What happens is that sudo sends a diagnostic line to syslogd. syslogd re
